JOHO - The Internet is Not a Thing: "Nethead proposals (= Good) put forward an agreement that only works if people agree to it. That means that it makes the Internet more valuable to the participants. And it also means that no one entity owns or controls the agreement (unless we agree to it). Because no one owns it, anyone can build an application that accepts the agreement.The email protocols are an example: no one owns the agreement and anyone can build a mail client or server. The Jabber protocol for instant messaging is another example."
